Merriest of Wishes, Pink & Main

I colored all the images on these cards using Copic markers, which are alcohol-based. Below, I’m sharing the swatches of the colors I used so you can easily recreate the look, no matter what coloring medium you prefer!

For the backgrounds, I softly blended on a light dusting of color with Distress Inks, then added a few splatters of Gansai Tambi Starry Colors gold for a touch of shimmer. The sentiments are stamped with Distress Oxide ink pads, their pigment properties make them perfect for achieving crisp, solid impressions like these.

For the finishing touches, I added plenty of little details to bring the critters to life. I drew in the fox’s face behind the glasses with a Micron pen, then layered on two thick coats of Glossy Accents for shiny lenses. All the critter noses also got a glossy finish, while a Quickie Glue Pen + Prisma Glitter gave them a subtle sparkle.

Along the ground, I applied Distress Collage Medium sprinkled with Distress Mica Flakes and Distress Chunky Clear for icy texture. On the Christmas tree ornaments, I added a coating of Distress Rock Candy Clear for the perfect frosty sparkle.
